Recently, I was on Comics Kingdom’s “Inside the Kingdom” podcast with Alex Garcia, who is one of the BEST podcast hosts I’ve had the pleasure to speak with. Comics Kingdom runs my award-winning, now-retired syndicated comic strip, The Pajama Diaries. The strip is in reruns these days, and still very fun to read online. Alex interviews me about the strip as well as Emmie & Friends and my cartooning background. It’s a really fun, engaging interview, and I hope you’ll check it out.

You can watch the entire podcast HERE.

It’s the new school year! For those going to middle school for the first time, here’s some advice. I stand by these, especially #2.

[PS Apologies: I had a cold and was in dire in need of tissues — and apparently some hairspray — when this was filmed.]

It’s been a few years since I answered readers’ questions in a video — and you all have so many great ones. So I decided to do Part Two! Enjoy the video…you may even see a special someone make an appearance.

Enjoy this little collage of my month-long whirlwind book tour in May, 2025! (Yes, I took many, many, MANY more photos — but we’d be here all day.)

From left to right: Kayla Miller and me, at a fun joint author event in Louisville; at a school in Denver; school event in Petaluma, CA; signing 200 books (!) in Denver; me partnering with some bigtime (fabulous) Australian authors in Sydney; with THE Jeff Kinney (!); presenting at Town Hall in Sydney (!!); signing at Booktopia, Austrailia’s largest online book retailer; with one of Booktopia’s many warehouse robots (named after book characters…this one is “Daisy Jones”); touring around Sydney Harbour and the iconic Opera House; at the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which — yes — I indeed climbed (not for the faint of heart or mind). [Not shown: me melting in Tempe, AZ — but still great events there; also, my tour around Melbourne, a stunning city as well.]

Okay, one more. This trip wouldn’t be complete without a picture of the world’s cutest animal (besides Rosie). Can we say, AWWWWUH?

Wandering Wallaby (possible title of my next book)
